New Project From Mercedes 911 to 914=>920
Verfasst: 2019-10-03 10:23:49
Hello everyone,
Sorry for not writing in German, Our German isn't that good so I'm going to write in English.
We (Tinka also known as Tim & Ninka) have started a new project after finishing and traveling around in my trustful Mercedes LA 911 B truck. (Total Rebuilding a 911)
We have been traveling from Portugal to white Russia with our old truck and now its time for a new truck build so we want to plan our journey to Africa.
After looking around for a new truck we have found an Mercedes 914 AK in the City nearby out village. I have asked my girl to check it out, she is a first mechanic at Scania Holland, we and bought our new project.
This Mercedes was fitted with a crane with platform, a OM366 with hydraulic pomp , single tires and good condition and has driven 86.000km.
After sketching, drawing we started to plan the build the truck. First part selling the crane and platform.
A guy from the north of Holland called me op wo wanted to buy the crane, a small drive of 400 km of the north of Holland was also a good test drive ,so I went to over there.
Sold the crane and sold the platform ready to start the build
Step one: New engine with gearbox. First we want to have some more PS. We already have bigger tires but we wanted to reduce the rpm so also a new gearbox.
After a while we have found a complete powerpack by Annema Trucks in the top of Holland. Great people over there. We called the up if we could check the engine before buying it and that was no problem at all. So me and my girlfriend went over there and checked the powerpack a OM366LA with GV 4/95 -6 /9.0 gearbox and the complete front from the chassis. (this came in handy beacause of all the extra parts we could use)
After bringing it back home we took the engine with gearbox from the chassis and did a complete service and renewed the parts like clutsch bearings etc.and a big bath of course
Time to place it. in the next part
Greetings Tinka
